Footnotes

  1. 1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now you cannot otherwise think me safe and in good case, unless you go forward in religion and faith.
  2. 1 Thessalonians 3:10 Paul was constrained through the importunate dealing of the enemies to leave the building which he had scarce begun: And for that cause he had left Silas and Timothy in Macedonia, and when Timothy came to Athens to him, he sent him back again straightway. So that he desireth to see the Thessalonians, that he may thereby thoroughly accomplish their faith and religion, that was as yet imperfect.
